Craft Materials

As you all know I’m apart of the core blogger team for DecoArt. Every month we have a fun challenge to create a project using a DecoArt product. This month our challenge was using any of the Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics for an organization project.

Since our theme was organization, what’s the best place in my house to help get organized!?! The boys room… Especially with Christmas right around the corner, were gonna need some more storage space.

Supplies Needed:

Wooden Crate

Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics 2oz – Leprechaun

Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics 2oz – True Blue

Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics 2oz – Red Hot

Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics 2oz – Blue Lagoon

DecoArt Vintage Effect Wash 8 oz – Brown

DecoArt Vintage Effect Wash 8 oz – Beige

Wood Ball Knobs

E6000 Glue

Silhouette

Let’s get started!!

Crate Makeover

Step 1 – Paint on Vintage Effect Wash

Start off by painting on your Vintage Effects Wash. I painted it on with my paint brush, then wiped it down with a paper towel.

This is probably one of my favorite paints of DecoArt’s, it just looks great!

Step 2 – Add Legs

Now it’t time to add your legs, I had these wooden balls on hand and they worked perfect.

Add some heavy duty glue to the knobs and firmly place them on the bottom of your crate. Let dry 30 minutes.

After your glue has dried you can add your Vintage Effects Wash on the knobs.

Already has that aged look that will fit in great with my boys dinosaur themed room.

Step 3 – White Wash Your Crate

I felt like the crate needed to have an extra punch, so I lightly went over it with some of the beige.

Step 4 – Cut Stencil

Now let’s add our phase. I cut it using my Silhouette Cameo. I used the Jurassic Park font for this!

Step 5 – Add and Fill in Stencil

I set out all my Americana Multi-Surface Satin Acrylics paint options for this project. Then I let my little guys pick which one was their favorite. They picked as their favorite color! I was super excited, because that was the one I was hoping they would choose!

I did a total of two coats for this step. The green gives it that perfect POP of color the project needed!
